Shawn Tompkins - Kickboxing Basics Combos Part 14 : Jab/Cross Hook Cross

Kickboxing Basics with Shawn Tompkins Part 14 : Combinations (Jab/Cross Knee)

This was Shawn's first basic introductory course that he taught for kickboxing.We shot this at Family Martial Arts in London for an idea that I had for an instructional cd-rom on the martial arts. I knew Shawn through his brother, Fred and when I contacted him about the project he was enthused and readily made the time for me, what a guy !
I was attending Fanshawe College at the time and though I finished the cd-rom and got 98% (Thanks Shawn!) ..it was never mass produced.. Shawn and I talked about it but both of us got busy with other things..

Was sad to hear of his recent passing, he was a really cool guy and a good teacher and great in front of the camera.

I've recently managed to find about 14-15 parts of his class we shot from warming up/down to stance basics as well as defensive tactics, different style of kicks, punches and combos and thought I'd upload them to YouTube so Shawn can continue on teaching..

The video quality isn't the greatest and the audio is a little suspect but the full res videos are long gone, just these..good enough for the web :)

And as always with any training or exercise program, always consult a physician before starting and that any form of self defense training (as Shawn would say) is to be used in conjunction with a total package of self training including diet, body/mind conditioning and self discipline. If you like these videos and want to continue training please consult a reputable professional trainer in your area that can teach you properly.

From 2001.. RIP Shawn.

Thanks again
